their association with the Agency. I explained the Agency's serious
reservations concerning the possibility of compromise of agents and
operations that are still in being. 1 explained that the Agency con-
tinues to have associations with some of the individuals with whom
Messrs. Barker and Martinez had contact during their Agency :
association. Mr.. Schultz seemed to appreciate this problem, Thus, oy ’
in order to attempt to protect those individuals, I explained that the ‘ { ’

’ Agency is currently not in a position to give Messrs. Barker and :
Martinez blanket authorization to identify individuals with whom they
had contact during their Agency association. Mr. Schultz readily
acknowledged those conditions.

4. I mentioned to Mr, Schultz that if, as a result of the
discussions that are now being authorized, Mr. Schultz believes
that certain individuals need to be identified he can make sucha
narrow request to the Agency at that time. I made no guarantee : . .
that we would approve such a request, only that we would consider oe _
it in view of (!) the rationale that Mr. Schultz would offer as to his a ;

“ nends, (2) the possibility of publication, (3) the damage to current ’
operations, and (4) the precedent in terms of weakening the confi- _—
donce of current and po‘ontial Agency relationships. ; ; a
